Answer:

Explanation:As previously stated, DNA is a macromolecule that's made up of individual subunits called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts:

Brought to you by Sciencing

A deoxyribose sugar.

A phosphate group.

A nitrogenous base.

DNA nucleotides can contain one of four nitrogenous bases. These bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C).

These nucleotides come together to form long chains known as DNA strands. Two complementary DNA strands bond to each other in what looks like a ladder before winding into the double helix form.

The two strands are held together through hydrogen bonds that form between the nitrogenous bases. Adenine (A) forms bonds with thymine (T) while cytosine (C) forms bonds with guanine (G); A only ever pairs with T, and C only ever pairs with G.

Complementary Definition (Biology)

In biology, specifically in terms of genetics and DNA, complementary means that the polynucleotide strand paired with the second polynucleotide strand has a nitrogenous base sequence that is the reverse complement, or the pair, of the other strand.

A small percentage of the body’s iron supply circulates freely in the blood, bound to a protein called transferrin. Transferrin
german

Answer:

What best describes how transferrin is transported through the erythrocyte plasma membrane is receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Explanation:

The incorporation of transferrin across the erythrocyte membrane depends on a transferrin receptor expressed on the surface of the membrane. The specific receptor recognizes the presence of iron-charged transferrin, transferin diferrica, incorporating it into the cell by endocytosis. Once in the cytoplasm, the iron is dissociated from the transferrin.

Free transferrin is called apotransferrin. The transferrin receptor has a high affinity for transferrin di-ferrica, which facilitates its incorporation by endocytosis, and the release of apotransferrin into the extracellular space.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     A. </em><u><em>Exocytosis</em></u><em> implies the exit of substances from the cell.</em>

<em>     B. </em><u><em>Pinocytosis</em></u><em> involves the invagination of the membrane to incorporate soluble substances into the cell.</em>

<em>     C. </em><u><em>Phagocytosis</em></u><em> is the incorporation of solid substances by invagination of the membrane.</em>

Choose the statement that could be categorized in the overlapping section of the Venn diagram.
NikAS [45]
The statement that could be categorized in the overlapping section of the Venn diagram would be option A. All the statements given above are about the aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The Venn diagram is used to show the similarities and differences between the two. The overlapping section of the diagram shows the similarity and it "uses pyruvate or pyruvic acid".
